Pours a five finger white head that fades quickly to a ring leaving traces of lace, thick layer of yeast left in bottle. Cloudy light amber color. Light carbonation and light bodied. Piney nose. Starts with a sweet piney flavor, can't taste the yeast, nice wheat. $2.75 for a 500ml bottle from John's Market Tigard, Or. And the worthless drivel on the bottle - best before end 88 10 58. ???

Their alt is exceptional so when I came across this one I had to give a try. Not bad, its a pretty straight-forward, though somewhat subdued hefe. Pours a nice hazy hay color with a weak head (for a wheat beer). A light, citrusy lemon aroma. The flavor is a bit milder than most of the style, but its still go that refreshing citrus spice and mellow grain malt character, along with a nice sweetness. A somewhat thin, grainy finish.

Not blow away by this one; while it was a solid, refreshing hefe, it was just a tad on the thin side. Still, give it a try.

Great bottle, with a flip top that can be resealed. Pours a hazy fizzy yellow, with a 1/2 inch white head very little lace remains around the glass....and lots of bubbly visible.
S- Slightly musky but with the expected banana, clove , plantain in the undertone.
T/M/D- Slightly chewy for a hefe,but overall still refreshing... light hops, medium body...Banana and citrus...as well as hints of some other tropical-ness.
Decent beer but overall it makes me want summer.

A better than average HefeWeisen. Beer poured a murky straw colour that created such a frothy head...maybe 4 fingers! Head stayed alive for quite some time, then disappeared to lace. Aroma of bananas was strong,with hints of citrus fruits. I noticed a very yeasty aftertaste...I think that was the only drawback. Other than the aftertaste, it was clean and crisp!

Smell- Mostly yeast and some powdered sugar. Really not much in the banana-clove area.

Taste- Has all the flavors of a quality hefe, but it doesn't assert itself as much as it should. Flavors are a bit muted. Has the bubble gum, banana, clove, confectioniers sugar and yeast flavors, but none are strong enough to really pull the beer together and make it top notch.

Mouthfeel- Good high carbonation level with a nice sweet aftertaste.

Drinkability- Above average hefe, but not up there with the big boys. Worth a try for sure though...and I wouldn't turn down one if offered. It is still quenching.

A fine hefeweizen with a dry bananna finish. So yeasty that you can't even make out light on the other side when held up to the bottle. Bananna flavor was average, not overwhelming. Had a bit of a burnt wheat flavor, pleasant aftertaste. An above average Hefe, not an allstar though. Some stronger phenolic character would be advised. 2.69 at Hollingshead

Pours an opaque cloudy banana yellow with hints of orange at the core. Tight white pillow foam an inch deep sits on top and settles slowly.

Aroma:

Bready with intense spicy black pepper, sharp and pungent.

Taste/Mouthfeel:

Peppery and tingling on the tongue. Some banana notes seep in by midsip but there is no sweetness. Finishes dry and spicy with notes of a belgian triple. Love the flip top cap, perhaps even more than the beer. Not the best hefeweizen out there, but I would drink this again if offered it.

Pours out to a yellow hazy color with a light head of white foam billowing at about 1/2 inch. Aromas of bananas and clove, just like any other hefe. Taste is very light bodied to the point that it takes away from the enjoyment of the flavor. Light bananas, malt, light spice and a drop of light floral hops. Mouthfeel was zesty and bubbly, but didn't make up for what it lacked in flavor. Drinkability is average. I'd have this again, if it were offered. There are better German hefe's out there.

This beer poured a yellow-amber color. It had the pure white head of every hefeweizen. There was little to no yeast sediment. It was the typical hefeweizen in every way except for taste. The alcohol taste was in the forefront more than in the typical hefeweizen, providing a little balance to the otherwise sweet and malty flavor of the beer. I'd love to try this fresh.

Good presentation; An easy way to win my heart is with a classy pop-top cork. This one releases with a loud crack and pours a very thick, cheerful snow-white head over a thin, straw-colored, only slightly cloudy body.

Smell is average; More wheaty than fruity, with only subtle whiffs of cloves and bread.

Taste also quite average; This hefe didn't live up to my standards. It is an okay wheatbeer, but it didn't shout the sweet fruit aromas and flavors that I've come to love from a good weissen.

Drinkability - I could drink several of these, but honestly, I wouldn't really want to. My final opinion of this beer is that it it's beer - nothing more. This re-asserts my belief that you get what you pay for.

A - A large white head that fades quickly leaving isolated flecks of lacing sits atop a very cloudy, nearly opaque golden beer with a tint of orange brown.

S - Smells a little of a lambic funk - like lemon and horse blanket. A bit like apricot as well. I generally like that smell, but it is odd for a hefeweizen. A bit of honey is present as well, over some faint cloves.

T - A mild flavor overall, mirrors the aroma only faintly. It is a little sweet of dilute honey. There is a bit of bread flavor and a faint hint of sour apricot and a touch of horse blanket in the finish.

M - Carbonation is high with a medium body, pretty refreshing at first, but turns into an astringent parching augmented by the numbing carbonation, gums in my throat a bit. Hefeweizens generally have awesome mouthfeels, this one is pretty bad though.

D - Not that bad, the mouthfeel sucks, but the flavor is mild and the abv low. It would be easy to throw back several of these in a night. Pleasant enough that it would be worthwhile as well. It is an interesting hefe at least. I might have again - but mostly because I want more Grolsch-style bottles . . .

Poured this beer into a mug from the flip top bottle. It pours a murky golden color. It has a light wheat nose that has a light floral overtone. It has very little head that quickly dissipates and some lacing. It has a slightly flat and medium mouthfeel. It has a smooth hefe-weizen taste that also hints at an "Alt-like" taste in its malty notes. This beer is a little too expensive to be standard of mine but it is a very drinkable beer. I have other hefe-weizen's that I like better but this one is not bad and I would drink one again given the opportunity.

Picked up a 4-pack from Brawleys' in Charlotte for around $11. This beer poured a cloudy, pale to golden yellow wit a HUGE head. When I started pouring in a hefe glass it was all head at the start.

Smell was all bananas for me and the taste matched. I couldn't taste any hops and it was too sweet for my normal likeing. While it's a drinkable beer I would not buy again due to the banana taste and sweetness.

Pours a hazy brownish orange color whit a soft white head that fades leaving spotted lacing around the glass.

Smell is of banana, yeast, some orange

Taste is similar to the smell with wheat and biscuit notes. Lots of banana toward the end. Finish is slightly sweet and smooth. Very little carbonation and that's why I gave it a lower rating on the mouthfeel. This one has almost no carbonation and I prefer a little more. Tasty beer and I would drink it again.

My wife likes Hefes, so Im on a quest to get her beer she likes. This is a good/sour one.
A) citrus ripe like.
A) bright and hints of apricot.
F) Crisp, sour and unrefined. Very apricot and yeast like.
P) Tart but full.
O) My wife likes it, I think it's good. We'd have it again.
